ATTENTION: Effective January 1, 2015, all California County Recorder’s Offices require a Notary Consumer Disclosure at the top of the notary acknowledgement. The disclosure states the notary public verifies only the identity of the individual who signed the document, not the truthfulness, accuracy or validity of the document.
All
first tuesday forms containing a boilerplate notary acknowledgement will be updated and posted to the journal by March 16, 2015. Until then, use the separate first tuesday Form 407, Acknowledgment By Notary Public – Notary Consumer Disclosure, available online here, and attach it to any document requiring notarization. |
